i have slated Spurs players in articles before, but only when it's actually justified . Having read through a few articles from start to finish I have so far seen Son Clinton Eriksen and lamela slaughtered.
Now the lamela one was only by that stubborn idiot chicken, so can be discarded.
But the others .... Gosh. Two new players and one player who is only probably still at Spurs because he doesn't have the consistency to match his ability - which is high enough to be at some of Europes biggest clubs.
I have to laugh at the ridiculous reaction to yesterday's point. We didn't even lose ffs. This lot just beat arsenal on their own patch - no mugs at all and a pulis side will always compete.
Everyone forgets that with a young team you have to expect inconsistent performances. Every young player suffers from that and up to now actually our performances this season have been impressively consistent.
So how about a bit of patience with the new signings instead of writing them off, I can remember a fair few players written off and then came good. A certain Harry kane . A certain gareth bale. . Danny Rose (most notably by myself). Chadli. Mason. List goes on really
Clinton and son will become good players in this side and remember that Eriksen is still quite a young man himself and hasn't quite found the consistency yet.
Some Spurs plank called up the radio yesterday after the game saying that Dier wasn't good enough ffs
Why are we slating our players?

You can see how a player is very early on and from his performance at previous clubs. It is quite easy to detect, rarely does a player surprise you. It is similar to scouting.
With a player You look at on the ball, you look at off the ball, look at the movement, look at what they are trying to do (does not matter if it does not come off, it matters what they are trying on the pitch) if there a forward and score a goal doesnt mean they have necessarily had a good game.
With us now under Poch it is super easy to see with any players. We play one system and one system only never changing. Thats not a criticism thats a fact. 4-2-3-1 narrow every game. If a players joining that you can have a very good idea if they will fit.
Fazio i was screaming before he played a game he was not right for English football. Low and behold everyone now sees it. You watch the way we play, the way the player plays, you judge if their attributes and style fit. It was known the negatives were he was slow and cumbersome. The positives were that he was very physical in a none physical league. That positive does not outweight that negative. Fazio did not fit it was painfully obvious. I am not saying he is a bad player, in spain, or italy or for argentina he would be a great defender as the game is slower.
N'Jie in my opinion is awful scouting. I am not saying he is not a potentially quality player but i think he does not fit the system like Fazio. Clinton is a wide player, we play narrow. Clinton is very raw,inexperienced and indisciplined with the way he plays. We play disciplined, methodical and more sideways than direct which takes away Clintons biggest attribute his pace. If you take away a players biggest attribute, they have to adapt. Clinton is far too young and inexpereicned to adapt. Do not get me wrong he gives us an option to go more direct but rarely do we use it. Hilarious and unfair watching him play as a centre forward, it was like Poch was saying look we did buy a forward, it was clear N'Jie had never played that position previously. Hopefully he does well but i do not think he fits personally.
On the flip side to that there was never any doubt Toby or Trippier was going to fit the system. Trippier had played a similar footballing style at Burnley and had shown the pressing ability to fit Pochs system. Tobys attirbutes all fit and the help of having Jan there and Lloris behind him made it quite easy to see him slot in.

Good post LLM
Disagree on Trippier though, for me no better than Naughton
